Hungarosaurus tormai (meaning 'Hungarian lizard' from the Latin Hungaria 'Hungary' and Greek σαυρος / 'sauros' 'lizard'), is a herbivorous nodosaurid ankylosaur from the Upper Cretaceous (Santonian) Csehbánya Formation of the Bakony Mountains of western Hungary. It is the most completely known ankylosaur from the Cretaceous of Europe.
Hungarosaurus walked on four legs and its body was covered with hundreds of osteoderms. The length of mature specimens was about 4–4.8 metres (13–16 ft) . Like other nodosaurids, it was a herbivore.
